How to make a fire (that actually burns)


This is a bit noob-oriented/lame, but I think fire is important. Plus, it's easy, and it teaches you lots of other stuff, too.

Hit F6 and doubleclick the area where you want a fire.
Make sure that "Walking Anim.", "Stepping Anim." and "Direction Fix" are checked on.
Click on the checkered graphic and scroll down to "!flame" (or if you're like me, "!Other2" for columns of fire). They have flames in rows of 3, so pick one.

If you just want to make a fire that flickers, that's it. You can also find instructions to make a fire (or any light source) that glows...somewhere on here -_-;

If you want to actually BURN your character (for whatever reason), read on.
In "Trigger" turn on "player touch".
For the event commands, they should read:
@Show Balloon icon: Player, Exclamation
@set move route: player (wait)
:$> Jump +2,+0 *
@Change HP: (whoever you want), - (however much damage)
@Show Balloon Icon: Player, Sweat

*note: this will make the player jump 2 squares RIGHT. If you changed it to -3, he would jump 3 squares LEFT. You can mix it up with the Y coordinates (which work with the same +/- system, but are verticle) to make them jump diagonally.
The player will now jump away when they touch the fire and lose a bit of health (or die, if you're cruel).
This is actually kind of funny to watch the first couple times.
